So in keeping with the economic downturn news that is completely bombarding us, I present to you the "Goodies on the Cheap" blog entry. I'll bring these to you on occasion as I find them.
Today's featured item is this John Derian melamine platter
Isn't it adorable? Its on the small side which makes it even more useful. It would be great as a keys catch all in a hallway table or serving up some cookies for guests. $13, available in store only.
And for those extra observant readers - it is missing the "j" and "w" so I'd advise against using it as a children's learning tool :)
I showed my youngest Sophie your house all decked out for Halloween , she was so impressed, now I have left everything to the last moment this year , I really need to get in gear , today today I will go get some goodies and fun goolies.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear the reasoning behing leaving out letters , that is too funny.
I am off to Zellers , which is like Target and Kmart .
I LOVE that tray - I got one at Target a couple of weeks ago. I took it to a party with appetizers on it and everyone flipped out and I think they all ran to Target the next day looking for it. Really pretty and can't beat the price!
ReplyDeleteI bought this bad boy. And I love it. The funny thing is, the more cocktails my guests had, the more they noticed the missing letters. And much discussion of Old English alphabet ensued. A correlation between cocktails and lucidity? More importantly, can I get grant money to pursue this? (To buy more Derian with. For research and all. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it and now I need to run to Target. Why the missing letters though?
ReplyDeletei'm heading over to target tonight... i love that tray. great decorations too!
ReplyDeleteI love that tray, and saw it in a magazine recently...which one, I have no idea (a sign of too many magazines?).
ReplyDeleteI contacted my Wiley contact (who is shipping out the book, and she said it was shipped today. There was a bit of a delay somewhere along the line...
Hope you get it soon!
